SUMMARY:City Series: Growth and Mobility Luncheon - Apr. 24
DESCRIPTION:Congestion presents a significant challenge\, with DFW motorists spending over 127 million hours in delays\, wasting 44 million gallons of fuel\, and incurring $3.1 billion in annual costs.  Moreover\, the increasing severity of congestion has detrimental effects on the environmental and public health.\n\n\n\nThis talk will introduce DALI (Distributed Agent-based Traffic Lights)\, an innovative\, AI-driven Traffic Control System (TCS).  DALI transforms existing TCSs into intelligent systems without the need for additional hardware investments.  As a pilot project\, DALI was deployed across 13 intersections in the City of Richardson and has proven effective in alleviating congestion.\n\n\n\nStay tuned after the event for a brief update from the City.\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nDr. Rym Zalila-Wenkstern is a Professor of Computer Science at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. She holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Ottawa\, Canada and a Doctorat de Sp cialit   in Computer Science from the University of Tunis\, Tunisia. Dr. Wenkstern is the Founding Director of the UT Dallas Center for Smart Mobility and the Smart Cities Applied Research Lab. Her research focuses on all aspects of engineering large\, complex\, real-world systems using distributed AI\, with an emphasis on Smart Cities challenges. Dr. Wenkstern's work on Intelligent Transportation Systems received awards\, media attention and recognition from municipalities and industry stakeholders. \n\n\n\nRCC registration/cancellation policy:\n\nReservations with payment are required. Because of catering requirements\, we must charge for reservations not cancelled three days prior to the event. Cancellations after that date can be substituted\, please provide name prior to event.  Unclaimed reservations during the event will be relinquished at noon. On-site registrants (walk-in customers) will be seated based on space availability.
